 THE GORI HISTORY
The story about GORI began in 1902, when Wilhelm O.
Ehrenskjöld, who was responsible for the security at Kolding
Harbour, had noticed how – despite careful maintenance
with tar and pitch – bulwark, cranes and other bollard
constructions were decaying from the inside in such a
manner that seemingly healthy would suddenly collapse.
He carried out experiments in order to obtain a more
effective form of wood protection and the result of his
experiments was GORIOL WOOD Oil.
During the 1930’s GORI’s relatively small development and
quiet daily life was very similar to the development in many
other contemporary Danish companies.
In 1957, Nils Oluf Ehrenskjöld - third generation - joined the
company. In line with the trend of the time - and marketing
principles imported from America – a company policy was
formulated. It was decided to move towards a powerful
and outreaching sales effort targeting architects, builders
and industry on a national level. This new tactic resulted in
a remarkable increase of the annual turnover of around €
40,000.
Along came the 1960’s with new concepts such as single-
family houses and a construction boom never seen before,
labour shortage, the women’s entry to the workplace,
family cars, and the modern age consumer society. The
construction of single-family homes gathered speed. Visible
wood elements became fashionable in the 60’s and this
created an unprecedented need for treatment, protection
and maintenance of wood. In the 60’s DIY shops, as we
know them today, were few and far between, so GORI
targeted carpenters, builders and craftsmen directly to
switch to GORI.
4 5
In 1970, the turnover increased to € 1.6 m.
All packaging was re-designed according to the new
and rigorous design strategy.
In 1982, the turnover was € 21.5 m and in 1984, a
new two-storey wing for marketing and administration
opened in Kolding and GORI was now the largest wooden
building in Scandinavia. Turnover had reached € 27.5 m.
An assortment developed especially for professionals was
introduced and in 1986 turnover was € 31.6 m.
In 1991, GORI became a part of the Dyrup group, and in
2012, Dyrup was acquired by PPG Industries, which is the
world’s largest coatings company with more than 47,000
employees.
One distinguishing feature, which really made GORI stand
out, was the concept “Total design”, the very core of the
GORI culture: The perception at GORI in the 1970’s was
that if the design is good then by nature it is also quality. In
addition, if good design is part of everything you do, then it
is also total quality. It also seemed logical to think in design,
when providing products, which were used for visual
purposes. Total design meant that you had to maintain the
highest possible design quality in all aspects and details.
Business partners and suppliers were also chosen based
on their perception of quality, as were all consultants, artists,
craftsmen, service providers, car dealers, hotels, conference GORI was a successful company with a large potential.

The fact that GORI from the start had solely
concerned itself with wood protection makes
the company one of a kind in the business.
Contrary to other companies, GORI did not
have its central point of departure in paint,
colours, decoration, fashion or trend, but in
wood – the natural wonder.
6 7
The logo signified that everything that GORI
concerned itself with had something to do with
wood. Straight from the living, newly planted
tree in the plantation, to impregnation and
surface protection and beautification of
timber as well as restoration of wooden
constructions in listed, historical buildings.
Inspiration from nature
This principle was most clearly manifested in the description
of GORI’s three main colour scales:
• W ood colours – which enhance the wood grains and
surface structure in colours, which are close to the
natural wood colours of various wood species
• Earth colours – which keep the wood grains and surface
structure visible in harmonious, calm and genuine
shades, which do not look like wood, but still have their
origin in nature’s own colour palette
• Coast colours – which hide the wood grains, but keep
the surface structure with opaque colours inspired by the
light and romantic play of colours, which is so typical for
the Danish coasts

 Wood Protection Products
Wood Preservatives
Wood preservatives contain a fungicide and an insecticide
for maximum protection. The main characteristic of the
wood preservative is that it penetrates deep into the
wood to prevent both fungal and insect attacks. Wood
preservatives not only have preventive properties, but can
also cure already infested areas.
Wood Protection
GORI wood protection products can be divided into two
categories: translucent and opaque. The translucent,
pigmented stains are transparent coatings, to which
insoluble pigments are added. They form a translucent
film with a coloured tint, through which the underlying
wood grain is visible. Opaque wood protection is covering
coatings - the entire colour film is pigmented and the
22
underlying wood is no longer visible. The majority of the
GORI wood protection products contain fungicides, which
offer surface protection against fungi and mould.
Varnishes
Build a transparent film that seals the wood surface, making
it impossible for the wood to release water vapour. The
coating ends up cracking and peeling off. With time, the
coating loses flexibility and cannot adapt to the wood’s
dimensional changes; this leads to cracking. Maintenance
requires removing old varnish coats (stripping, sanding).
Enamels
Build an opaque film that can follow the wood’s
movements; this property depends, however, on the
flexibility of the resin included in their formulation. Enamels
hide the wood’s original appearance and seal its surface,
making it impossible for it to release water vapour. The
coating ends up cracking and peeling off. Maintenance
requires removing old paint coats (stripping, sanding).
Oils
GORI oils are normally used for wooden decks and garden
furniture. The difference between oils and wood protection
is that the oil will not form a film on treated surface, but will
penetrate into the wood. This is expecially preferable for
wooden decks, where you would notice cracking of the film,
if a regular wood protection product had been used.
Easy Maintenance with GORI
Unlike varnishes and paint, wood protection is easy to
maintain, with no need for stripping the previous coat.
Wood protection degrades through abrasion, without
accumulating coats. Only light sanding is required to
improve adhesion of the new coat.
Preser vatives a nd
protective products
Wood protection products are made of active ingredients,
additives and solvents. Active ingredients have fungicide
and/or insecticide properties. They are fixed to the wood
through the fixatives. Both penetrate the interior of the wood
through the solvent, which acts as a vehicle. Their main
properties include:
• Effective action against degrading agents.
• Product stays in the wood and protective action
continues for a certain time.
The preservative is often neglected in wood protection
systems. However, if you use a preservative you will ensure:
• Improvement of adhesion of the top coat
• Reduction of moisture absorption
• Biological protection of the wood
A sapstain protection preservative is only required for
coniferous wood for outdoor use. Normally broad-leaved
wood does not require a primer (as these are hardwoods),
with the exception of older wood, which is already grey and
has not been treated before.
The colourless preservatives penetrate deep into the
wood, and provide a barrier against sapstain fungi. The
preservative provides protection for the interior of the wood,
however, a top coat of varnish or wood protection is neces-
sary in order to protect against UV-rays and water. In addition
the top coat acts as a beautiful decoration for the wood.
Preser ving
Preservatives on new wood
New, untreated wood should not be left for too long without
treatment. The natural degradation of wood starts on the
first day the wood is outside.
New wood may be infected by mould, which is not
visible to the naked eye. If you are in doubt, clean the wood
with a suitable detergent before applying treatment.
Preservatives on previously treated wood
If the wood protection looks worn down and has started
peeling off, it is time to give the wood a new treatment.
Check the wood before treating it:
• Rotten wood must be renewed
• Water traps must be mended by leading water away
from the wood
• Mould and incrustations must be removed with a GORI
Cleaner
Preservatives on wood attacked by insects
and/or wood worm
Remove all the previous finishes such as paint, coatings and
varnish. Strip the surface or brush any decayed parts off.
Treat all wood surfaces three times or submerge the wood
in the preservative for a couple of minutes. Treat all wood,
which is in contact with other wood, their respective joints
and parts embedded in walls. Replace any parts, which are
excessively affected and thereby weakened.

 Applying curative treatments
Recognizing Attacked Wood
There is a wide range of signals that
indicate wood has been damaged,
including holes, sawdust, noises
coming from within the wood,
depressed soil, dead insects found
next to windows, etc. Both the insect
and the type of damage produced, or
the appearance or size of larvae are
useful to identify the type of treatment
required.
• Large woodworms leave oval, 5
to 10 mm (diameter) flight holes.
A dull noise heard when knocking
on wood can be a sign of attack.
If larvae are inside, it is possible
to hear the noise they make while
feeding. Their tunnels are near the
surface. Adult larvae are 13 to 30
mm long and of light colour.
• Fine woodworms make many
round, 1,1 to 3 mm (diameter)
flight holes. Their tunnels have an
irregular shape and contain dust
and excrements. Adult larvae are
white and 4 to 6 mm long.
• Moths make holes similar to those
made by fine woodworms (diameter
of approx. 1.6 mm). Their tunnels
mainly follow the grain. Larvae are
white and 4 to 6 mm long.
• Termites attack (coniferous and
non-coniferous) wood and other
materials, such as textiles, paper

 Applying wood protection

GORI has an extensive range of
finishing products, which both
decorate the wooden surface, but
also contain fungicides, which prolong
the protection already applied with
GORI 11 or GORI 22.
1. Application
Ensure surface is free from dust and
sawdust by cleaning with brush.
In general, wood protection can be
applied with brush, roller or spray gun:
Brush: Apply product generously
along wood grain to favour
impregnation.
Roller: Apply product generously
along wood grain to favour
impregnation.
Spray gun: Maintain spray gun
perpendicular to and at a constant
distance from surface. Alternate
direction of spray coats, ensuring they
overlap slightly.
2. Maintenance
One of the main advantages of
GORI wood protection is that the
coating degrades by erosion, without
cracking or peeling. Therefore, it is
not necessary to remove previous
coats by heavy sanding or stripping.
Furthermore, if you have followed the
steps GORI recommends (stripping,
sanding, pre-treating with a GORI
preservative), it will be several years
before you need to repeat the
treatment:
a) Sand surface ”lightly” in order
to eliminate surface residues of
eroded coating.
b) Dust surface with brush or
paintbrush.
c) Apply 1 to 2 new coats, depending
on condition of existing coating.
The Result
By following the instructions given
above and by choosing an adequate
system, the wood will be protected
against weather conditions and also
be healthy and beautiful for a long
time.
Most exposed areas
Eaves, pedestals, doors, windows,
corners, joints between roof and
facade, door and window frames.
These areas are considered highly
exposed to degradation caused
by fungi, insects, rain, sun rays,
wind and humidity.

 PPG COMPANY HISTORY
135 yea r s of innovation a nd colour leadership
PPG was founded in 1883 by Capt. John B. Ford and John
Pitcairn as a plate glass factory, known as Pittsburgh Plate
Glass Co.
During the 1900s the company expanded rapidly through
new facilities and acquisitions. In 1899, the business
diversified with the construction of an alkali plant in
Barberton, Ohio. A year later, PPG started building its
coatings business by acquiring an interest in Wisconsin-
based Patton Paint Co.
Expansion into Europe takes place by acquiring a glass
plant in Belgium. Glass and paint provided continued
growth in the 1920s, as the automotive industry and
skyscraper construction expanded.
In the 1920s, the automotive industry starts using more
glass as the open touring car gives way to the sedan. PPG
revolutionizes plate glassmaking with straight line conveyor-
based ribbon method.
58
During the 1930s PPG introduces SOLEX® heat-absorbing
glass.
In the 1940s, PPG develops laminated aircraft glass.
During WWII, the company converts much of its production
into materials for military use and begins to develop
synthetic resins that lead to plastics, high-performance
paints and industrial coatings.
Post-WWII prosperity in the 1950s leads to increased
car production and home and building construction. The
company introduces lead-free house paints.
In the 1960s cars get a new lease on life as PPG revolu-
tionizes the auto industry with the commercialization of the
electrodeposition coating process, virtually eliminating rust.
Reflecting its diversification, Pittsburgh Plate Glass Company
changes its name to PPG Industries. As a bonus, the
company reaches $1 billion in sales.
Oil embargo and rising costs of gas and electricit in the
1970s revive interests in solar energy. PPG is the first major
corporation to develop a flat-plate solar collector.
In the 1980s PPG introduces TESLIN® substrate, a
synthetic printing material that resists water, abrasion,
extreme temperatures and UV damage, which is widely
used for passports, photo IDs, maps, menus and much
more.
In 1989, PPG begins a flurry of acquisitions that expand
the company’s offering of automotive, industrial, aerospace
and packaging coatings around the world.
During the 1990s PPG develops photochromic lenses that
automatically darken in sunlight and block harmful UV rays.
Today, TRANSITIONS® lenses are the eyecare industry’s
most recommended photochromic lenses. In 1998, PPG
proves its “can-do” attitude by developing more efficient
solvent-based coatings for easy-opening lids on beverage
cans.
During the 2000s PPG silicas are used to strengthen the
performance of athletic footwear, while flexible coatings add
durability and color.
In 2008, PPG makes the largest acquisition in its history,
of the SigmaKalon Group, a worldwide coatings producer.
SigmaKalon brought strong architectural paint, protective
and marine coatings, and industrial coatings businesses,
and it greatly expanded PPG’s footprint in Western and
Eastern Europe, Asia, and Africa.
In the 2010s PPG continues to accelerate the pace of its
business portfolio transformation and to grow its position
as the leading global coatings and specialty products
company.
In 2012 PPG acquired the Danish company DYRUP A/S
– and as a consequence became brand oweners of
GORI, Bondex and DYRUP. PPG also acquired the North
American architectural coatings business of AkzoNobel in
2013 – the second largest acquisition in the company’s
history at that time.
135 years after its founding, PPG still holds true to the
spirit of Ford and Pitcairn: We Protect and Beautify the
World, offering customers in a wide range of markets and
geographic locations unique technologies, services and
other solutions.
